Air Sealing New Orleans - Star Spray Foam

One of the best ways to ensure your home or business is properly insulated is to test for areas of air leakage. To help with this, Star Spray Foam Insulation is proud to offer top-notch Blower Door Testing.

With blower door testing, we’ll attach a ‘blower door’ to your windows and doorways. This system comes with a calibrated fan, an instrument for measuring pressure, and a mounting system. When operated by our highly experienced technicians, a blower door helps to test your air ventilation and quality.

Also known as an infiltrometer, blower doors are used to suck air from inside a room, depressurizing the area. While the blower door is running, our technician will use special cameras, heatless smoke tools, and their own eyes and ears to find trouble areas.

When these areas are found, our technician can apply spray foam to seal air leakages and better insulate your home or office.

Blower Door Testing: Preparations, Procedures, and Plans

When you schedule testing, you’ll need to have a few things ready for our technicians.

  • Close exterior doors and storm windows. (note: leave open any doors leading between basements and first floors.)
  • Open all interior doors.
  • Turn off all heating appliances and exhaust fans.
  • Close fireplaces.

Our technician will use state-of-the-art equipment to test several areas in your home or office for air leakage:

  • Basements and crawl spaces
  • Attics
  • Vents and exhaust fans
  • Air ducts
  • Pipes and wirings
  • Doors and windows
  • Pull-down stairs
  • Bath fans

After your site has been tested, we’ll sit down with you to discuss our results and other solutions to help optimize your property.

FAQs

Who performs a blower door test?

Home energy professionals use a blower door as a diagnostic tool to determine how much air is entering or escaping from your home. Professional energy assessors use blower door tests to help determine a home’s airtightness.

Is blower door test worth it?

Still, single-unit blower door tests are valuable, as they will uncover air leakage spots in the building envelope and spots between adjacent units. Both are worth identifying, as controlling building envelope leaks will help boost energy efficiency and limiting leaks between units will maximize temperature control.

How hard is it to pass a blower door test?

It is estimated that 50% of newly constructed homes will fail the blower door or air-tightness test. Most blower door test failures occur because of a lack of understanding of what is necessary to create a continuous air barrier system.
